Throughout the drawings and the detailed description, the same referencenumerals refer to the same elements. The drawings may not be to scale,and the relative size, proportions, and depiction of elements in thedrawings may be exaggerated for clarity, illustration, and convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader ingaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses,and/or systems described herein. However, various changes,modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/orsystems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of thedisclosure of this application. For example, the sequences of operationsdescribed herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those setforth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after anunderstanding of the disclosure of this application, with the exceptionof operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also,descriptions of features that are known in the art may be omitted forincreased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, andare not to be construed as being limited to the examples describedherein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merelyto illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing themethods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will beapparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region,or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupledto” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or“coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more otherelements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element isdescribed as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directlycoupled to” another element, there can be no other elements interveningtherebetween.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combinationof any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used hereinto describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections,these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to belimited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguishone member, component, region, layer, or section from another member,component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component,region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein mayalso be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, orsection without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower”may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element'srelationship to another element as shown in the figures. Such spatiallyrelative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of thedevice in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted inthe figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over,an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to anotherelement will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element.Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientationsdepending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may alsobe oriented in other ways (for example, rotated by 90 degrees or atother orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are tobe interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, andis not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and“the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless thecontext clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,”and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations,members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude thepresence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations,members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Thicknesses, sizes, and shapes of lenses illustrated in the drawings mayhave been slightly exaggerated for convenience of explanation. Inaddition, the shapes of spherical surfaces or aspherical surfaces of thelenses described in the detailed description and illustrated in thedrawings are merely examples. That is, the shapes of the sphericalsurfaces or the aspherical surfaces of the lenses are not limited to theexamples described herein.

Numerical values of radii of curvature of lenses, thicknesses of lenses,distances between elements including lenses or surfaces, effectiveaperture radii of lenses, focal lengths, and diameters, thicknesses, andlengths of various elements are expressed in millimeters (mm), andangles are expressed in degrees. Thicknesses of lenses and distancesbetween elements including lenses or surfaces are measured along theoptical axis of the optical imaging system.

The term “effective aperture radius” as used in this application refersto a radius of a portion of a surface of a lens or other element (anobject-side surface or an image-side surface of a lens or other element)through which light actually passes. The effective aperture radius isequal to a distance measured perpendicular to an optical axis of thesurface between the optical axis of the surface and the outermost pointon the surface through which light actually passes. Therefore, theeffective aperture radius may be equal to a radius of an optical portionof a surface, or may be smaller than the radius of the optical portionof the surface if light does not pass through a peripheral portion ofthe optical portion of the surface. The object-side surface and theimage-side surface of a lens or other element may have differenteffective aperture radii.

In this application, unless stated otherwise, a reference to the shapeof a lens surface means the shape of a paraxial region of the lenssurface. A paraxial region of a lens surface is a central portion of thelens surface surrounding the optical axis of the lens surface in whichlight rays incident to the lens surface make a small angle θ to theoptical axis and the approximations sin θ≈θ, tan θ≈θ, and cos θ≈1 arevalid.

For example, a statement that the object-side surface of a lens isconvex means that at least a paraxial region of the object-side surfaceof the lens is convex, and a statement that the image-side surface ofthe lens is concave means that at least a paraxial region of theimage-side surface of the lens is concave. Therefore, even though theobject-side surface of the lens may be described as convex, the entireobject-side surface of the lens may not be convex, and a peripheralregion of the object-side surface of the lens may be concave. Also, eventhough the image-side surface of the lens may be described as concave,the entire image-side surface of the lens may not be concave, and aperipheral region of the image-side surface of the lens may be convex.

An optical imaging system includes a plurality of lenses. For example,the optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a thirdlens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lenssequentially disposed in numerical order along an optical axis of theoptical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging systemtoward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system. Thus, the firstlens is a lens closest to an object (or a subject) to be imaged by theoptical imaging system, while the seventh lens is a lens closest to theimaging plane.

Each lens of the optical imaging system includes an optical portion anda rib. The optical portion of the lens is a portion of the lens that isconfigured to refract light, and is generally formed in a centralportion of the lens. The rib of the lens is an edge portion of the lensthat enables the lens to be mounted in a lens barrel and the opticalaxis of the lens to be aligned with the optical axis of the opticalimaging system. The rib of the lens extends radially outward from theoptical portion. The optical portions of the lenses are generally not incontact with each other. For example, the first to seventh lenses aremounted in the lens barrel so that they are spaced apart from one otherby predetermined distances along the optical axis of the optical imagingsystem. The ribs of the lenses may be selectively in contact with eachother. For example, the ribs of the first to fourth lenses, or the firstto fifth lenses, or the second to fourth lenses, may be in contact witheach other so that the optical axes of these lenses may be easilyaligned with the optical axis of the optical imaging system.

Next, a configuration of the optical imaging system will be described.

The optical imaging system includes a plurality of lenses. For example,the optical imaging system includes a first lens, a second lens, a thirdlens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lenssequentially disposed in numerical order along an optical axis of theoptical imaging system from an object side of the optical imaging systemtoward an imaging plane of the optical imaging system.

The optical imaging system further includes an image sensor and afilter. The image sensor forms an imaging plane and converts lightrefracted by the first to seventh lenses into an electrical signal. Thefilter is disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging plane, andblocks infrared rays in the light refracted by the first to seventhlenses from being incident on the imaging plane.

The optical imaging system further includes a stop and spacers. The stopmay be disposed in front of the first lens, or at a position of eitheran object-side surface or an image side-surface of one of the first toseventh lenses, or between two adjacent lenses of the first to seventhlenses, or between the object-side surface and the image-side surface ofone of the first to seventh lenses, to adjust an amount of lightincident on the imaging plane. Some examples may include two stops, oneof which may be disposed in front of the first lens, or at the positionof the object-side surface of the first lens, or between the object-sidesurface and the image-side surface of the first lens. Each of thespacers is disposed at a respective position between two lenses of thefirst to seventh lenses to maintain a predetermined distance between thetwo lenses. In addition, the spacers may be formed of a light-shieldingmaterial to block extraneous light from penetrating into the ribs of thelenses. There may be six or seven spacers. For example, a first spaceris disposed between the first lens and the second lens, a second spaceris disposed between the second lens and the third lens, a third spaceris disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens, a fourth spaceris disposed between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, a fifth spaceris disposed between the fifth lens and the sixth lens, and a sixthspacer is disposed between the sixth lens and the seventh lens. Inaddition, the optical imaging system may further include a seventhspacer disposed between the sixth lens and the sixth spacer.

Next, the lenses of the optical imaging system will be described.

The first lens has a refractive power. For example, the first lens has apositive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface ofthe first lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface of thefirst lens may be convex. The first lens may include an asphericalsurface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of the first lens maybe aspherical.

The second lens has a refractive power. For example, the second lens hasa positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surfaceor both surfaces of the second lens may be convex. For example, anobject-side surface or both an object-side surface and an image-sidesurface of the second lens may be convex. The second lens may include anaspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of thesecond lens may be aspherical.

The third lens has a refractive power. For example, the third lens has apositive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface orboth surfaces of the third lens may be convex. For example, anobject-side surface, or an image-side surface, or both an object-sidesurface and an image-side surface of the third lens may be convex. Thethird lens may include an aspherical surface. For example, one surfaceor both surfaces of the third lens may be aspherical.

The fourth lens has a refractive power. For example, the fourth lens hasa positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surfaceor both surfaces of the fourth lens may be convex. For example, anobject-side surface, or an image-side surface, or both an object-sidesurface and an image-side surface of the fourth lens may be convex. Thefourth lens may include an aspherical surface. For example, one surfaceor both surfaces of the fourth lens may be aspherical.

The fifth lens has a refractive power. For example, the fifth lens has apositive refractive power or a negative refractive power. One surface ofthe fifth lens may be convex. For example, an object-side surface or animage-side surface of the fifth lens may be convex. The fifth lens mayinclude an aspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfacesof the fifth lens may be aspherical.

The sixth lens has a refractive power. For example, the sixth lens has apositive refractive power or a negative refractive power. In someexamples, one surface or both surfaces of the sixth lens may be convex.For example, an object-side surface or both an object-side surface andan image-side surface of the sixth lens may be convex. Also, in someexamples, one surface or both surfaces of the sixth lens may be concave.For example, an image-side surface or both an object-side surface and animage-side surface of the sixth lens may be concave. At least onesurface of the sixth lens may have at least one inflection point. Aninflection point is a point where a lens surface changes from convex toconcave, or from concave to convex. A number of inflection points iscounted from a center of the lens to an outer edge of the opticalportion of the lens. For example, at least one inflection point may beformed on either one or both of the object-side surface and theimage-side surface of the sixth lens. Therefore, at least one surface ofthe sixth lens may have a paraxial region and a peripheral region havingshapes that are different from each other. For example, a paraxialregion of the image-side surface of the sixth lens may be concave, but aperipheral region thereof may be convex. The sixth lens may have anaspherical surface. For example, one surface or both surfaces of thesixth lens may be aspherical.

The seventh lens has a refractive power. For example, the seventh lenshas a positive refractive power or a negative refractive power. Onesurface of the seventh lens may be concave. For example, an image-sidesurface or both an object-side surface and an image-side surface of theseventh lens may be concave. At least one surface of the seventh lensmay have at least one inflection point. For example, at least oneinflection point may be formed on either one or both of the object-sidesurface and the image-side surface of the seventh lens. Therefore, atleast one surface of the seventh lens may have a paraxial region and aperipheral region having shapes that are different from each other. Forexample, a paraxial region of the image-side surface of the seventh lensmay be concave, but a peripheral region thereof may be convex. Theseventh lens may include an aspherical surface. For example, one surfaceor both surfaces of the seventh lens may be aspherical.

The lenses of the optical imaging system may be made of a light materialhaving a high light transmittance. For example, the first to seventhlenses may be made of a plastic material. However, a material of thefirst to seventh lenses is not limited to the plastic material.

The aspherical surfaces of the first to seventh lenses may berepresented by the following Equation 1:

$\begin{matrix}{Z = {\frac{{cY}^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - {\left( {1 + K} \right)c^{2}Y^{2}}}} + {AY}^{4} + {BY}^{6} + {CY}^{8} + {DY}^{10} + {EY}^{12} + {FY}^{14} + {GY}^{16} + {HY}^{18} + \ldots}} & (1)\end{matrix}$

In Equation 1, c is a curvature of a lens surface and is equal to aninverse of a radius of curvature of the lens surface at an optical axisof the lens surface, K is a conic constant, Y is a distance from acertain point on an aspherical surface of the lens to an optical axis ofthe lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, A to H areaspherical constants, and Z (or sag) is a distance between the certainpoint on the aspherical surface of the lens at the distance Y to theoptical axis and a tangential plane perpendicular to the optical axismeeting the apex of the aspherical surface of the lens. Some of theexamples disclosed in this application include an aspherical constant J.An additional term of JY²⁰ may be added to the right side of Equation 1to reflect the effect of the aspherical constant J.

The optical imaging system may satisfy one or more of the followingConditional Expressions 1 to 6:0.1<L1w/L7w<0.4  (Conditional Expression 1)0.5<S6d/f<1.4  (Conditional Expression 2)0.4<L1TR/L7TR<0.8  (Conditional Expression 3)0.5<L1234TRavg/L7TR<0.9  (Conditional Expression 4)0.5<L12345TRavg/L7TR<0.9  (Conditional Expression 5)1<|f134567−f|/f  (Conditional Expression 6)

In the above Conditional Expressions, L1w is a weight of the first lens,and L7w is a weight of the seventh lens.

S6d is an inner diameter of the sixth spacer, and f is an overall focallength of the optical imaging system.

L1TR is an overall outer diameter of the first lens, and L7TR is anoverall outer diameter of the seventh lens. The overall outer diameterof a lens is a diameter of the lens including both the optical portionof the lens and the rib of the lens.

L1234TRavg is an average value of overall outer diameters of the firstto fourth lenses, and L12345TRavg is an average value of overall outerdiameters of the first to fifth lenses.

f134567 is a composite focal length of the first to seventh lensescalculated with an index of refraction of the second lens set to 1.0,which is substantially equal to an index of refraction of air. When theindex of refraction of the second lens is set to 1.0, the second lensdoes not refract light. Thus, by comparing f134567 with f, which is theoverall focal length of the optical system, it is possible to evaluatethe effect of the second lens on f. For example, the second lens mayshorten f, or lengthen f, or have no effect on f In other words, f134567may be greater than f, or less than f, or equal to f.

Conditional Expressions 1 and 3 specify ranges of a weight ratio and anoverall outer diameter ratio between the first lens and the seventh lensto facilitate a self-alignment between the lenses and an alignment by alens barrel.

Conditional Expression 2 specifies a range of a ratio of the innerdiameter of the sixth spacer to the overall focal length of the opticalimaging system for minimizing a flare phenomenon.

Conditional Expressions 4 and 5 specify overall outer diameter ratiosbetween the lenses to facilitate aberration correction.

Conditional Expression 6 specifies a lower limit of a degree ofshortening of f, which is the overall focal length of the opticalimaging system, by the second lens. The lower limit of 1 for|f134567−f|/f in Conditional Expression 6 corresponds to an example inwhich the second lens shortens f to 50% of f134567. Thus, ConditionalExpression 6 covers examples in which f is 50% or less of f134567.

The optical imaging system may also satisfy one or more of the followingConditional Expressions 7 to 12:0.1<L1w/L7w<0.3  (Conditional Expression 7)0.5<S6d/f<1.2  (Conditional Expression 8)0.4<L1TR/L7TR<0.7  (Conditional Expression 9)0.5<L1234TRavg/L7TR<0.75  (Conditional Expression 10)0.5<L12345TRavg/L7TR<0.76  (Conditional Expression 11)1<|f134567−f|/f<100  (Conditional Expression 12)

Conditional Expression 13 specifies a design range of the second lensfor minimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it isdifficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal sphericalaberration for the second lens having a radius of curvature that exceedsthe upper limit value of Conditional Expression 13, and it is difficultto expect a sufficient correction of astigmatic field curves for thesecond lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limitvalue of Conditional Expression 13.

Conditional Expressions 14 and 15 specify a design range of the thirdlens for minimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, itis difficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal sphericalaberration for the third lens having a radius of curvature that exceedsthe upper limit value of Conditional Expression 14 or 15, and it isdifficult to expect a correction of astigmatic field curves for thethird lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limitvalue of Conditional Expression 14 or 15.

Conditional Expression 16 specifies a design range of the sixth lens forminimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it isdifficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal sphericalaberration for the sixth lens having a radius of curvature that exceedsthe upper limit value of Conditional Expression 16, and the sixth lenshaving a radius of curvature that is below the lower limit value ofConditional Expression 16 is apt to cause a flare phenomenon.

Conditional Expression 17 specifies a design range of the seventh lensfor minimizing aberration caused by the first lens. For example, it isdifficult to expect a sufficient correction of longitudinal sphericalaberration for the seventh lens having a radius of curvature thatexceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 17, and theseventh lens having a radius of curvature that is below the lower limitvalue of Conditional Expression 17 tends to cause a curvature of theimaging plane.

Conditional Expression 18 specifies a ratio of a sum of radii ofcurvature of the sixth lens and the seventh lens to twice a radius ofcurvature of the first lens for correcting the longitudinal sphericalaberration and achieving excellent optical performance.

Conditional Expression 19 specifies a ratio of an optical imaging systemmountable in a small terminal. For example, an optical imaging systemhaving a ratio that exceeds the upper limit value of ConditionalExpression 19 may cause a problem that the total length of the opticalimaging system becomes long, and an optical imaging system having aratio that is below the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 19may cause a problem that a size of a lateral cross-section of theoptical imaging system becomes large.

Conditional Expressions 20 and 21 specify a refractive power ratio ofthe first to seventh lenses for facilitating mass production of theoptical imaging system. For example, an optical imaging system thatexceeds the upper limit value of Conditional Expression 20 or 21 or isbelow the lower limit value of Conditional Expression 20 or 21 isdifficult to commercialize because the refractive power of one or moreof the first to seventh lenses is too great.

Conditional Expression 22 specifies a thickness range of the first lensfor implementing a compact optical imaging system. For example, thefirst lens having a thickness that exceeds the upper limit value ofConditional Expression 22 or is below the lower limit value ofConditional Expression 22 is too thick or too thin to be manufactured.

Conditional Expression 24 specifies a design condition of the first tofourth lenses for improving chromatic aberration. For example, a case inwhich a distance between the first lens and the second lens is shorterthan a distance between the third lens and the fourth lens isadvantageous for improving the chromatic aberration.

Conditional Expressions 27 to 30 specify design conditions forimplementing a compact optical imaging system. For example, lenses thatdeviate from the numerical range of Conditional Expression 28 or 30 aredifficult to form by injection molding and process.

Conditional Expressions 31 to 33 specify design conditions of an opticalimaging system in consideration of a position of the stop. For example,an optical imaging system that does not satisfy one or more ofConditional Expressions 31 to 33 may have a longer overall length due tothe refractive power of the lenses disposed behind the stop.

An optical imaging system 27 includes a first lens 1027, a second lens2027, a third lens 3027, a fourth lens 4027, a fifth lens 5027, a sixthlens 6027, and a seventh lens 7027.

The first lens 1027 has a positive refractive power, and an object-sidesurface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave.The second lens 2027 has a negative refractive power, and an object-sidesurface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave.The third lens 3027 has a positive refractive power, and an object-sidesurface thereof is concave and an image-side surface thereof is convex.The fourth lens 4027 has a positive refractive power, and an object-sidesurface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave.The fifth lens 5027 has a negative refractive power, and an object-sidesurface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave.The sixth lens 6027 has a positive refractive power, and an object-sidesurface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereof is concave.In addition, at least one inflection point is formed on either one orboth of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixthlens 6027. The seventh lens 7027 has a positive refractive power, and anobject-side surface thereof is convex and an image-side surface thereofis concave. In addition, two inflection points are formed on theobject-side surface of the seventh lens 7027, and one inflection pointis formed on the image-side surface of the seventh lens 7027.

The optical imaging system 27 further includes a stop, a filter 8027,and an image sensor 9027. The stop is disposed between the second lens2027 and the third lens 3027 to adjust an amount of light incident onthe image sensor 9027. The filter 8027 is disposed between the seventhlens 7027 and the image sensor 9027 to block infrared rays. The imagesensor 9027 forms an imaging plane on which an image of a subject isformed. Although not illustrated in FIG. 53 , the stop is disposed at adistance of 0.9037 mm from the object-side surface of the first lens1027 toward the imaging plane of the optical imaging system 27. Thisdistance is equal to TTL-SL and can be calculated from the values of TTLand SL for Example 27 listed in Table 57 that appears later in thisapplication.

FIGS. 57 and 58 are cross-sectional views illustrating examples of anoptical imaging system and a lens barrel coupled to each other.

The examples of the optical imaging system 100 described in thisapplication may include a self-alignment structure as illustrated inFIGS. 57 and 58 .

In one example illustrated in FIG. 57 , the optical imaging system 100includes a self-alignment structure in which optical axes of fourconsecutive lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 are aligned with anoptical axis of the optical imaging system 100 by coupling the fourlenses 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 to one another.

The first lens 1000 disposed closest to the object side of the opticalimaging system 100 is disposed in contact with an inner surface of alens barrel 200 to align the optical axis of the first lens 1000 withthe optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the second lens 2000is coupled to the first lens 1000 to align the optical axis of thesecond lens 2000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system100, the third lens 3000 is coupled to the second lens 2000 to align theoptical axis of the third lens 3000 with the optical axis of the opticalimaging system 100, and the fourth lens 4000 is coupled to the thirdlens 3000 to align the optical axis of the fourth lens 4000 with theoptical axis of the optical imaging system 100. The second lens 2000 tothe fourth lens 4000 may not be disposed in contact with the innersurface of the lens barrel 200.

Although FIG. 57 illustrates that the first lens 1000 to the fourth lens4000 are coupled to one another, the four consecutive lenses that arecoupled to one another may be changed to the second lens 2000 to a fifthlens 5000, or the third lens 3000 to a sixth lens 6000, or the fourthlens 4000 to a seventh lens 7000.

In another example illustrated in FIG. 58 , the optical imaging system100 includes a self-alignment structure in which optical axes of fiveconsecutive lenses 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 are aligned with anoptical axis of the optical imaging system 100 by coupling the fivelenses 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 to one another.

The first lens 1000 disposed closest to the object side of the opticalimaging system 100 is disposed in contact with an inner surface of thelens barrel 200 to align the optical axis of the first lens 1000 withthe optical axis of the optical imaging system 100, the second lens 2000is coupled to the first lens 1000 to align the optical axis of thesecond lens 2000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system100, the third lens 3000 is coupled to the second lens 2000 to align theoptical axis of the third lens 3000 with the optical axis of the opticalimaging system 100, the fourth lens 4000 is coupled to the third lens3000 to align the optical axis of the fourth lens 4000 with the opticalaxis of the optical imaging system 100, and the fifth lens 5000 iscoupled to the fourth lens 4000 to align the optical axis of the fifthlens 5000 with the optical axis of the optical imaging system 100. Thesecond lens 2000 to the fifth lens 5000 may not be disposed in contactwith the inner surface of the lens barrel 200.

Although FIG. 58 illustrates that the first lens 1000 to the fifth lens5000 are coupled to one another, the five consecutive lenses that arecoupled to one another may be changed to the second lens 2000 to a sixthlens 6000, or the third lens 3000 to a seventh lens 7000.

FIG. 59 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a seventhlens.

FIG. 59 illustrates the overall outer diameter (L7TR) of the seventhlens, the thickness (L7rt) of the flat portion of the rib of the seventhlens, the thickness (L7edgeT) of the edge of the seventh lens, thethickness (Yc71P1) of the seventh lens at the first inflection point onthe object-side surface of the seventh lens, the thickness (Yc71P2) ofthe seventh lens at the second inflection point on the object-sidesurface of the seventh lens, and the thickness (Yc72P1) of the seventhlens at the first inflection point on the image-side surface of theseventh lens. Although not illustrated in FIG. 59 , the seventh lens mayalso have a second inflection point on the image-side surface of theseventh lens, and a thickness of the seventh lens at this inflectionpoint is Yc72P2 as listed in Table 60.

FIG. 60 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an example of a shape ofa rib of a lens.

The examples of the optical imaging system 100 described in thisapplication may include a structure for preventing a flare phenomenonand reflection.

For example, the ribs of the first to seventh lenses 1000, 2000, 3000,4000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 of the optical imaging system may bepartially surface-treated to make the surface of the rib rough asillustrated in FIG. 60 . Methods of surface treatment may includechemical etching, physical grinding, or any other surface treatmentmethod capable of increasing a roughness of a surface.

A surface-treated area EA may be formed in an entire area from an edgeof the optical portion of the lens through which light actually passesto an outer end of the rib. However, as illustrated in FIG. 60 ,non-treated areas NEA including step portions E11, E21, and E22 may notbe surface-treated, or may be surface-treated to have a roughness lessthan a roughness of the surface-treated area EA. The step portions E11,E21, and E22 are portions where the thickness of the rib abruptlychanges. A width G1 of a first non-treated area NEA formed on anobject-side surface of the lens and including a first step portion E11may be different from a width G2 of a second non-treated area NEA formedon an image-side surface of the lens and including a second step portionE21 and a third step portion E22. In the example illustrated in FIG. 60, G1 is greater than G2.

The width G1 of the first non-treated area NEA includes the first stepportion E11, the second step portion E21, and the third step portion E22when viewed in an optical axis direction, and the width G2 of the secondnon-treated area NEA includes the second step portion E21 and the thirdstep portion E22 but not the first step portion E11 when viewed in theoptical axis direction. A distance G4 from the outer end of the rib tothe second step portion E21 is smaller than a distance G3 from the outerend of the rib to the first step portion E11. Also, a distance G5 fromthe outer end of the rib to the third step portion E22 is smaller thanthe distance G3 from the outer end of the rib to the first step portionE11.

The positions at which the non-treated areas NEA and the step portionsE11, E21, and E22 are formed as described above may be advantageous formeasuring a concentricity of the lens.

The examples described above enable the optical imaging system to beminiaturized and aberrations to be easily corrected.
